A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now ...

For more than two decades, amateur photographer Dale Carter has documented the physicists who come to the Black Hills for ...

Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size.

The particles we’re made of About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. You also contain much smaller amounts of the other elements that are essential ...

Neutrinos don’t seem to get their mass in the same way as other particles in the Standard Model. In 1998, researchers made a discovery that challenged their understanding of particle physics and ...

Once the most popular framework for physics beyond the Standard Model, supersymmetry is facing a reckoning—but many researchers are not giving up on it yet.

Gravity: we barely ever think about it, at least until we slip on ice or stumble on the stairs. To many ancient thinkers, gravity wasn’t even a force—it was just the natural tendency of objects to ...

For decades scientists have tried to find a way to measure the mass of the lightest matter particle known to exist. Three new approaches now have a chance to succeed.

Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close.

Quantum entanglement, doubted by Einstein, has passed increasingly stringent tests. Over 12 billion years ago, speeding particles of light left an extremely luminous celestial object called a quasar ...

Our best model of particle physics explains only about 5 percent of the universe. The Standard Model is a thing of beauty. It is the most rigorous theory of particle physics, incredibly precise and ...
